Let me recount that Triple H/Shawn Michaels buildup to and that exact storyline for you dumbasses who don't know what you are talking about.

RAW JANUARY 7, 2002 - Triple H returns from his quad injury to a massive ovation in MSG.

2002 Royal Rumble - Triple H wins the RR match and goes on to face the Undisputed Champion, Chris Jericho, at WrestleMania X8!
WrestleMania X8 - Triple H becomes the 2nd ever Undisputed Champion after defeating Chris Jericho with the pedigree in front of the record-setting crowd of 68,237 in the Toronto SkyDome.
Backlash 2002 - Hulk Hogan beats Triple H for the Undisputed Title.
Fast forward to July - Triple H's SmackDown! contract is expiring and decides to announce his decision (sign with RAW or SmackDown!) at the Vengeance Pay-Per-View event on July 21,2002!
Triple H considers signing with SmackDown! until RAW superstar Shawn Michaels convinces his best friend Triple H to come home to Monday Night RAW!
The very next night on RAW, Triple H and Shawn Michaels are excited to be back together and decide to raise hell like the good ol' days!
They come out to the DX music and intro to a raucous ovation, and while doing the classic DX in-ring promo "Let's get ready to suck it!", Triple H pedigrees Shawn Michaels hard into the canvas.
The crowd looks on in shock as RAW goes off the air.
The next couple of weeks involve a mystery angle where Shawn Michaels head was thrown through a car window.
It would be revealed that Triple H did it to his former best friend and now worst enemy.
At SummerSlam 2002, Shawn Michaels made his in-ring return after over a 4 year absence due to a broken back and drug addiction.
They put on a classic, and HBK won with a roll-up only to have his moment ruined by a vicious sledgehammer shot to the spine after the match by a bloody and bitter Triple H.
On the August 22, 2002 edition of RAW, Triple H beat the Undertaker to become #1 contender for the Undisputed Championship.
Later that night, it is revealed that Brock Lesnar signed a SmackDown! exclusive contract so now the Undisputed title is exclusive to SmackDown!
The next week, Eric Bischoff debuts the World Heavyweight Championship and awards it to Triple H!
HBK sells the injuries sustained at SummerSlam, but vows to attack at any time and tells Triple H to "Don't Hunt What You Can't Kill!"
On the October 28, 2002 edition of RAW, Triple H is facing Kane in a casket match. Triple H opens the casket only to reveal Shawn Michaels and get a superkick!
The next week, Triple H gets superkicked by HBK when HBK runs down during his tag match.
At the 2002 Survivor Series, HBK wins the World Heavyweight Championship in the first ever Elimination Chamber.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels have a 3 Stages of hell match at Armageddon in December, which HHH wins.
The feud takes a break while HBK/Y2J is set up through WrestleMania XIX.
The feud picks back up a year later in late December 2003, which leads to a great match on the December 29, 2003 edition of RAW in San Antonio, TX. The match ends in a double pin which is a draw which means Triple H retains the World Championship!
Royal Rumble 2004 - Triple H and Shawn Michaels compete in a Last Man Standing Match for the World Title which ends in a double count-out...Triple H retains!
WrestleMania XX - In a triple threat match C**** B***** defeated Shawn Michaels and Triple H by making Triple H submit to win the World Title.
Backlash 2004 - A rematch of the WrestleMania XX main event, only this time C**** B***** made Shawn Michaels tap out to retain.
Bad Blood 2004 - Shawn Michaels and Triple H basically end this rivalry in an almost hour-long Hell in a Cell match. Triple H wins.
They acted very cold toward each other until 2006, when Triple H turned face and both did crotch chops at WrestleMania 22 and made chants of "Suck It!" and "DX" cool again.
WWE saw dollar signs and buyrates and D-X reunited for a 4 year run.
Shawn Michaels retired at WrestleMania XXVI and Triple H is preparing for his epic return from injury.
